Talking 05 EVO MR vs 05 GTO

I have a friend who saw a street race where a 05 GTO smoked a 05 MR for at lease 3-car lengths back-to-back drag race. At first, the Evo gets a good jump but the 05 GTO suddenly catches up. They say they are equally matched but it seems 3 car lengths is quite a distance. Is this believable?

It's very believable. The Evo wins off the line because of AWD, shorter gearing, and a 500-pound weight advantage, but in terms of real-world acceleration, the GTO has it beat. Weight is less of a factor at high speeds, the GTO has less drivetrain loss, and it has taller gearing.

Yea I could see that happening. The Evo should have shut down after a 1/4 mile.

Bullshit! (could happen but I just wanna disagree with all of joooz)
Evo wins hands down, driver probably didnt know how to race!

Re: 05 EVO MR vs 05 GTO

From how my friend described driving the ls2 (he's working at the dealership I used to be at) it is just disgustingly sick. Definantly believable.
